Research in Agricultural Cooperation -- Problem Areas -- Preliminary

Farmer Cooperative Service

No 315957, Farmer Cooperative Research Report (FCRR) from United States Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service

Abstract: Excerpts from the report: The primary objective of this report is to assist research workers by directing their attention to areas in agricultural cooperation where research is needed. Individual projects within each problem area may then be developed on the basis of the need and interest in the project on the part of interested cooperatives and the research institution, time and funds available, capacity of the research worker, and other pertinent considerations. It is hoped that this preliminary outline will stimulate research. The Cooperative Research and Service Division and the American Institute of Cooperation believe this publication, even in its present form, will assist workers to select and develop projects of basic value to agricultural producers and their cooperatives. Many of the problems of cooperatives are similar to those of other firms, and they may be solved similarly. However, many problems of cooperatives are different from those of other agencies. This manual sets forth distinctive areas of research in cooperative buying and selling together with examples of project statements.
